Bottoms up!

Which twin can't figure out that you put your bum in the seat of the chair and not through the opening? I'll give you a hint...she doesn't wear a LINDEtard!!

Happy 6th Bday, Nekoh!

Sooo, Nekoh's birthday was Monday, and I'm just now posting the news! Anyhoo, he had a great day and outside of his usual sleeping, barking at neighbors, and tearing up the kids' toys, he took naps, vocalized loudly that people were outside, and tenderly lovingly placed delicate teeth marks in a few Thomas Trains. Wow, the life of a dog. Although, last night he and Jackson were in the deep woods in our yard, doing only Dog knows what, and it's only safe to assume we're going to see some more "Lost Cat" posters in the neighborhood.

We all scream!!

31cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins!? Are you kidding me? I don't remember where/when/how I heard about this fine establishment practically BEGGING me to come to their store to GIVE me free ice cream, but it's been on my calendar for about a month! It's a good thing (for me) that there are 2 stores on my way home from work and another one right next to the Moe's that we ate dinner at...ok, so maybe we planned it that way, regardless, I say more 31cent nights, please!

Sandbagging is soooo underrated!

Geesh, Dawn! Got enough bag tags?!? I think you're being a bit modest...What's next? Gluing the T2 crystal balls to your car? You go girl!!!

Couch-er-size!!

Welcome to the 5 minutes when Mommie leaves the room to cook dinner...the cushions come off the couch, the shoes fly off their feet, and they jump to Old School Funk music on XM radio!

Feed me, Seymor!!

This is what happens when you clean your garage out once a year!! You acquire inhabitants that DON'T PAY RENT!! I found this little nest of baby "house wrens" cozied up in the open tool box that has been obviously unused. After I cleaned out the garage, I put the little bird house back on the shelves so all 4 babies won't die on my behalf. Later tonight I went out to check on them and the mom was in the nest taking care of her babes. Awe! 2 kids, 2 dogs, 5 birds...what's next? I've always wanted a fainting goat, maybe that'll be my next acquisition!

And the winner is.....

Cinny Bunn!!! Whoa, what a match. I really don't know how to play a match in 2 sets. I'd like to thank the Tennis Gods that instilled a 3rd set to allow me to work out my bad shots! Thanks to Dawn, Keely, Linde, Leah, Jammy, Grandy, Reed, Nolan, Todd and Doc for coming out to watch the grudge match. It was a beautiful day to play and I really got my money's worth in the almost 3 hour match.

Happy (day late) Birthday, Dar!

This is DEFINITLY the Fun-Dar we all know and love. We hope you had a great birthday ended up looking like this at the end of YOUR DAY!!

Ah, fun with weeds!

Why wouldn't we be playing on the lawn of the unmowed, weed infested, critter attracting, forclosed, abandoned house next door on such a pretty day!?!?

Typical Monday Evening

Why wouldn't mommie join the boys for dinner at their little table? Fat girl in a little seat! The boys loved it and I actually got Reed to eat a whole bowl of peas!!! Nolan was still skeptical of the little green balls...



















Then, Todd checked the mail and found a package....for Jackson...from ANITA!! G'day, mate! She sent him a bday gift for turning the big 1-0 and being the best Fairy Dog-Mother in the northern, southern, eastern, and western hemisphere. We loooooooove our Anita!!

Easter

Guess I don't know how to add the Easter picture. Worst part is there were only 7 grandkids there. Maybe even worst....they only got 7 eggs to find each. Much to Dad's happiness he found $$ in the yard and I even found a quarter myself after everyone left. I gave it to Poppa cuz that's were the coins came from.

Thanks, Nanan!

Happy pollen filled Saturday to all. Today, Todd
was invited to play golf at Druid Hills and I had a tennis match, 1st round playoffs for T2 singles, so Nana (or Nanan, as the boys call her) graciously came down to keep the boys company. She chased them around the new playground, pushed them on the swings, watched a lawn mower cut grass for about 10 minutes, took them on wagon rides...all the great things a Nana can do. I'm sure after all the excitement of the morning, she went home to take a nap! Thanks, Nana!

You had me at 1400!

So, I took Jackson for his 2nd opinion about his knee to Crestview Animal Hospital in Cumming this afternoon. The first opinion Todd took him to in Roswell resulted in a $100 lesson that we wouldn't spend $3700 to have him run on underwater treadmills and endure avacado facials while going thru therapy after his surgery. Anyhow, the doctor at Crestview came in and introduced himself as "John," and after a few minutes of checking Jackson's x-rays, feeling his knee, and mumbling a few illegible words, he gave me the news that he could do the surgery for around $1400!! And, he's going to clean his teeth and give him his first shave of the summer! Yipee! It's about a G-note less than his right leg costed about 6 years ago and he gets to wear a cast!! Who wants to to be the first to sign it?!?!? I think we're going to get him taken care of sometime next week or the next. Keep your fingers crossed and wish him well!

Dinner anyone?!?

Tonight, Nolan was being a big help since his big brother wasn't feeling well and decided to help set the table for dinner. He got his cup, put water in it. Got Reed's cup, put water in it. Then, got himself, Reed, and JACKSON forks for their meals. Apparently, orange is Jack's favorite color....uh, we'll have to talk about that!! Now all Jackie needs is...opposable thumbs! Good thinking anyhow, Nolan.

Busy Springster!

The McLure's went to Athens last weekend and had quite a busy weekend! From the 3 egg hunts to visiting some of Lindsay's favorite restaurants, and playgrounds to hanging out with friends, we were always on the go!

This picture doesn't have much to do with the weekend, but I thought it was dang cute! Reed looks like he's a little beach bum.

We hunted "Gems" as well as eggs at the Mapps' house. The boys got to take home loads of goodies from this stop and we're making sure to mark it on our calander's for next year!!

We dyed eggs at Jammy and Grandy's house. We tried that cool trick with the whisks (where you put the egg into the middle of the whisk and little kids are able to color the eggs with ease), the only problem was getting the egg back out of the whisk! I cracked a few when I finally gave up and Jammy found some tongs. The boys used them like chopsticks and had a ball.

We also fed the geese at The Bugg compound. For those of you with a good remembering mind, George Bugg was the nice man that lent us his cool Bonnie and Clyde car when Todd and I got married. His son has a big gathering every Easter and they put out hundreds of eggs for the kids to find! Most of them contained a big reece's peanut butter egg...um, yes, we've hidden them from the boys and may have possibly consumed quite a few as well! I don't know why I'm so fat!

We're all waiting for Dardar to put her pictures from the Halloran Easter on this site! I saw a few the night I picked up the dogs from their house, and she's becoming a photo pro!!! No need to hire a professional photographer for those big family shots anymore. Bring on that artistic eye, Dar!

Hi all, nothing new around here. I did play golf today, beautiful day to be outside--end of golf conversation. Headed to B'ham tomorrow will be back on Friday. L's will you be around, haven't seen the boys in a month, are they 3 yet? Luv, M
